Overview
["Merrick's bone broth is a human grade, grain free chicken recipe packaged in a single 7 oz pouch, with apple and sweet potato listed as special ingredients. It is also free of peas, potatoes, gluten, wheat and soy according to the label, and pitched at adult dogs of all breed sizes.", "The label calls out hip and joint support along with easy digestibility and a full list of vitamins and minerals, and Merrick's stated benefit is simply increasing moisture in a dog's food for a more complete diet.", 'At $4.69 per 7 oz pouch, this is the least expensive bone broth in this lineup by a wide margin. With about 905 reviews at a 4.3 star average and roughly 200 units bought in the past month, it has a solid, if modest, following.']
